Do you want Tramon Williams to return?

Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst plans to be an active trader during the draft and the results of any moves around the board will impact at least one post-draft decision about the roster. During a Monday conference call, Gutekunst was asked about the chances that cornerback Tramon Williams will be back with the team in [more]

No, because the thought of Green Bay not being able to find a younger player who's an improvement over a 37-year-old is pretty depressing to contemplate.

Williams doesn't play like a 37 yo but it's time to move on. Dust him off a seat in the Packer's Hall and tell him thank you.

Been a good player and an excellent teammate.
No, age is catching up to him.
Offer him a coaching job.
Put him in the Hall.

I agree with the previous posts.
He filled a need. But it’s time to put someone younger in there.
If you can’t find someone better and younger at this point, then something’s wrong.

If we can sign him at the vet minimum why not invite him to camp? I still see CB a realistic high round pick as King in my opinion is likely gone after this season and with losing Tramon we are in a bit of a hole with Alexander as potentially our only proven commodity next year.

I got no problem with Tramon...

But it would be nice if we actually got some good young CBs on cheap contracts other than Alexander.

King has been extremely inconsistent at best. Unavailable at worse.

They have hyped Josh Jackson, but it's basically it's about put up or shut up time for him. I mean I understand he was extremely raw and a long term project, but if he can't get on the field for year three, it's not looking good for a 2nd round investment.

(Maybe 2nd after Chandon Sullivan who didn't have very many snaps.)

packerfanoutwest (5h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (5h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (6h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (6h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (7h) : Who? What?

beast (15h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (20h) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
